[open to Investigators]

[wholeheaded]

Oh, well this is... different.

[ the mental voice is light, American-accented, and at first hesitant but confidence builds as he goes on. ]

Hello new Travelers, and not-as-new ones I haven't met yet, looks like the Trumps have a new mission for us. If you can hear me, you're an Investigator and that means exactly what you'd think: we're gonna be putting our heads together to help solve some problem in this world. Thankfully that putting-our-heads-together bit's pretty easy because of this nifty telepathic thingy-- don't worry, no one can hear your thoughts if you don't want them to, but if you need help or find out stuff you think is important please share with the rest of the class.

[ it's funny because they're in a school, see. ]

You might have friends here, other Travelers, who don't remember you and think they've lived all their lives in this world. We call them Infiltrators and usually they're good sources of info, so try and blend in and stay close with them. That shouldn't be too hard since the folks here seem to have been expecting us, or a group like us and good Glinda can we please have every Jaunt start like this?

Ah... meanwhile let's try and coordinate and see who's still with us. My name's Ambrose, by the way, I'm that guy with the zipper on his head.

Not sure I want a guy that talks faster than that mail order show host back home in a hazmat suit poking and prodding at me every Jaunt...

[Well, no, there was no poking or prodding, but still.]

But man, is this really a school? It's... well, it's not like anything in Japan.

[wholeheaded]

I'm learning that was... a lot more worrying than I'd initially assumed.

[ see this is where the weaponized optimism fails him. ]

But, ah, yes it's a school, as far as I can tell.It's not quite like anything in the O.Z. either but some of the trappings are similar.

[wantedittobeagame]

[The O.Z.? Maybe he'd ask later.]

At least what we need to do this time around is a lot clearer than last time.

[wholeheaded]

[ it's exactly what you're possibly thinking it is, Adachi, if you're at all up on western pop culture. ]

Yeah. If I'd known getting me out of the picture would've helped Violet's death'd've been a lot less faked. [ LAUGH SO YOU DON'T CRY, AMBROSE. ] Still, I'm worrying about taking out eyes off the big picture. Like... I think everyone was focusing on the queen last time? Maybe the grant's like that.

[wantedittobeagame]

[Adachi cringed at the first part of that; poor guy. That couldn't've been easy to deal with.]

So you think there's a bigger somethin' behind all this? [He paused.] Considering how we arrived here, maybe. We don't know what's outside these walls, other than the fact that it's probably bad, given all the precautions they're taking.

[wholeheaded]

I'm not certain, it's just... it can't hurt to consider all the options, can it? We might wanna start with recent history. Part to find out what's going on and part not to look like complete sore thumbs/

[wantedittobeagame]

Well, this is a school; it's probably got a library. Someone could hit the history section.

[Don't suggest he do it, don't suggest he to it...]

[wholeheaded]

Yeah, someone should. [ possibly ominous pause? ] Or a few someones to make sure we get most of the picture. I'm calling dibs on science.
